Hey you read the February issue of Nat Geo it seems, `Love the chemical reaction'

I do not know but I like this line that concludes the article, totally out of context but somehow I find it profound and very very meanigful.."I took it, and together we sent it back to the sea."

On hope I can only say, to hope is the first sign of thinking of impossibilities, negative connotations but still, you hope and you think of it's non occurence, maybe it could be other way around also, all depends of on the state that defines us, isn't it!.
